How do you study invisible organisms, such as fungi, from the environment?
We provide a benchmarked meta-barcoding dataset for soil fungi in Australia and Antarctica, combined with +100 predictor variables to fast-track data exploration, research and conservation.

Our newest research in @nature.com
We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains

Well done Mycological Society of America! I'm proud to be a member of this organization and to serve upon its council. A lot of organizations pay a lot of lip-service to DEI policies, but the MSA really makes tangible DEI advances for its membership and the Mycological community as a whole. Bravo!

If you aren't from central California, you might imagine it is always hot and dry here. Perhaps a terrible place to find mushrooms... Well, let me dispel that misconception! Central California is filled with the most amazing forests, and mushrooms!
